President Trump erupts: 1st time kneeling, out for game. 2nd time kneeling, out for season/no pay!

[Rambunctious]

The players say that they want to begin a conversation but when you first spit in my face the conversation is over...wrong place wrong time...grow up players...
Maybe they should be forced into uniform and sent to Afghanistan for two years...
Or go on night patrol with LAPD in the Crenshaw district gang unit....no one said ball players were all that bright but these idiots are comical.....

Looks like a violation of the 1st amendment to me?

Nope. If you can get Papa John fired for saying the N-word then NFL players can be fired for disrespecting the flag and the fans.

Not the same thing. John Schnatter left the company on his own for saying the N word.

He was forced out because of public outrage. Same reason the NFL and NBA will fine/suspend players who piss off the public.

I would tie their pay to the TV ratings.

Colonel BlackFlagg is the expert on dumbness
''don't play dumb with him, he's better at it''---better than Trump

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Because this is exactly the bright shiny thing Trumpians can be distracted by and forget that they are supporting a traitor. Dupes one and all.

You are beyond hope....UNLESS you overcome your ignorance and watch this and finally GET IT
This woman has more intelligence in her pinky fingernail than you'll ever have.

He's trying to revive the kneeling issue so that he can deflect attention from what he did at Helsinki.

Bullshit! It was a Tennessee Titans player that said he would kneel and pay the fine. Trump had nothing to do with the issue being brought up. Educate yourself!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Doesn't the idiot have anything better to do than tweet about stupid shit that nobody cares about?

People who are true Americans DO care! Since you do not, I guess we know where you kneel!

 

[basquebromance]

those who hate it at least think our nation causes every problem / war in history think we should be ashamed NOT proud of all the great things we have done for the world .

 

[Crepitus]

why did he revive it 1 month ago? and two months ago? and 3 months ago? and all the other months!

Because he ALWAYS needs to distract you fools from some dumbass stunt he just pulled.

Looks like a violation of the 1st amendment to me?

Nope. A violation of 1st Amendment more closely looks like people being denied the right to accept an invitation to speak on campus, or being denied the right to have a pleasant night at the theater or restaurant with their family purely because they don't parrot the leftist line. Stuff like that.

A football organization setting the standards of what is expected of its employees/players is not only within the spirit of the Constitution, but in my opinion is the civic duty of management. And the football organization that chooses not to insult the majority of its fans and chooses not to set a terrible example for the kids it should be role models for will get the Good Housekeeping Stamp of Approval from tens of millions of us.

Those who don't will continue to earn contempt from us as well as lose advertisers, fans, and respect.

The NFL is a private organization and like any other business they can enact certain standards that employees have to follow.

The NFL is actually a tax payer funded organization

The NFL is a taxpayer paid Socialist program operating tax free. Why should those getting paid with my tax dollars have to be subjected to standing for the national anthem, because of the past and current injustices in our criminal justice system? Especially when no one asked me if I wanted to pay for football players, stadiums, coaches, and their owners to begin with? Since I am forcefully mandated to pay for well off players, stadiums, and coaches, where is my say in all of this? Trump works for us, we don't work for him. And since my taxpayer dollars go to them, I say they have that right.

The real violation here, is the fact that I never willfully decided to make players and coaches well off through my tax dollars, by creating a socialist football program to enriches others. And since I have a stake in this program, and not by choice by the way, my first amendment rights are being violated. The "spirit of the Constitution" applies to those socialized programs I do not care for, that I am mandated to pay for. Remember the Obamacare mandate that was taken out because of protest? Same thing applies here;

Absolutely! And look what a pitiful distraction it is. He's using a tax payer funded socialist sports program to take away the voices of the citizens who finance this unnecessary socialist program, some of whom, do not even watch football. And I'm one of them. I played football, but I never watch it, or go to any games.

After selling out our country to Russia

Trump thinks he can save his reputation by trashing the patriotism of NFL players
